Hidden Markov Model

HMM is an instance of the state space model in which the latent variable are discrete.What's this state space model? State-space models are models that use state variables to describe a system by a set of first-order difference equations.This is similar to the principles of Markov chains however in this case the latent states are assumed to be the dictator of the observed values.

Currying and Partial Application

The mathematical definition of a function can be denoted as a relationship between a set of inputs (the domain) and a single output (the co-domain). When a mathematical function is said to have only one parameter, it typically means that it takes a single value as input. However, in functional programming we build functions that theoretically 'defy' this concept by taking in multiple input parameters.

Portfolio Optimization

Portfolio optimization is the method of selecting the best portfolio, which gives back the most profitable rate of return for each unit of risk taken by the investors. ​ A portfolio is defined as the pool of investment options of an investor. ​ The best portfolio for an investor depends upon various options like risk appetite, expected rate of return, other cost minimization.​ An ideal portfolio would be the one that has the highest Sharpe ratio.​
